The RHSC Philosophy is rooted in ensuring players’ success both on and off of the soccer field . We embrace the Long Term Player Development Model to produce an attacking brand of soccer. We emphasize strong technical ability and proactive decision making-skills to dominate the game by keeping possession of the ball , and consistently seeking to penetrate and play through all areas of the field. This philosophy places heavy importance on leadership amongst all players, and ensures they understand and maintain a healthy active lifestyle. Philosophy

Age Group Specialist Kaelyn Thom Erin Lennox 2009 Girls Coach • Committed to continuous development • Work together as a group • Deliver consistent principles and content • Positive and player centered • Independent and objective look at all players 2009 Girls Coaching Staff

Players should not be thinking in terms of making or not making a team. • Players will practice in both large and small groups • Players will be directed to the program that meets their level of ability at said moment in time • “Teams” are only necessary for leagues • Players will be moved as the coaching staff feels appropriate (may be week to week) • Games are looked upon as a learning opportunity not win / lose. (we set developmental goals for players) • The player pool structure is modeled on Global Football Best Practices Pool Programs, Not Teams

LTPD Is about putting the player first and offering age-appropriate opportunities for kids to enjoy the game of soccer. Making the game fun is key in teaching and coaching, so that players will continue in the game Grassroots is the most important part of the player pathway. This is where we give children their first experience in soccer. Ensuring that this experience is fun and enjoyable and revolves around child-friendly soccer ( LTPD ) is essential. The coaching objective here is simple : have them fall in love with the game. Development Philosophy

Not every player matures/develops at the same rate, or in the same way. Our goal is for every player to be the best they can be and reach their potential both on and off the field, without a timeline. All decisions are made in the best interests of the player. Players will be challenged and provided with suitable opportunities . Why LTPD?

The four corner development model places the player at the center of the development process with soccer experiences that meet the four key needs of the player Developing the whole person, not just the athlete
